Last night Kdward Howell was In charge of the meeting. The basement of the church was filled, every seat being taken. At the llrst meeting of the se ries held Monduy night Mr. DeGruchy preached a sermon on "The Needs of the Holy Spirit. During his remarks Mr. DeGruchy said: "When we read the book of the Acts, the beginning of the Christian era, the wonderful achievements It brought about, we are somewhat amazed at the present condition of the church. AVe see no such a thing taking place today and wonder if it is possible in the prest'nt century to nguln behold such mighty results. As for me, I be lieve the same tliinss are possible to the church of today. Let the church fulfil known conditions and comply with them and the blessings of the past will be the blessing of the present, God is the same today, yesterday and forever, and no promise was made to the primitive church that we cannot claim or receive. Tlie great trouble is our lack of com pliance to conditions which are a ne cessity to the reception of the blessings. Let us return to primitive methods. Prayer and communion with God brought from heaven the power needed to do effective work. The Holy Spirit lirought the power of 1'entecosrT And those that received it were not the same as. befoie It transformed their lives; they were men of power and equal to the very obstacle In the way; they had a linn grasp of the truth, the Holy Spirit came to them In much as surance. Let us comply wltl) condi tions and we will receive the blessing. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. and Mrs. Lloyd, of Olypluint, are visiting on tills side.
